do you believe that trump, delete -- do you believe trump when he says he's fine going to jail and youhink he's projecting, trying to put on a brave face when he saying that he wants to not be worried about this while also saying the public won't stand for it? what you think he's trying to project there? >> i think there's two things to unpack. first, first of all he's actually not comfortable with going to jail. that is just bravado. it has been reported in the "new york times" and i have tried -- talked to trump associates and he said he doesn't want to serve time. and that all of these proceedings weigh heavily on him. and remember, there's more criminal trials possibly awaiting him. so further trials, the threat of jail time, present time is very present for him right now. and i think that he's putting on a brave face for the sake of reporters and his ego. but i don't think he's at all comfortable with it. i think the idea he would condone violence on the streets, for people disturbed by the result of what was an abundantly fair judicial process, is to be expected because it's not

trump's sentencing. that's set for july 11th, just days before he's supposed to officially accept the republican party's nomination. with mr. trump's other criminal cases in washington, florida, and georgia all bogged down with significant delays, the mants manhattan trial is likely the only trial mr. trump faces before election day. will the verdict impact the view of voters? our first indication, the poll conducted before the verdict shows the majority of voters say mr. trump's conviction will not affect their vote and now that mr. trump has been convicted, the biden campaign is looking for ways to shake up a race that has largely remained stagnant. this morning nbc news reports the biden team is accelerating its timetable to get more aggressive and plans it had been holding on to for later this summer that includes sharpening its message to argue that mr. trump is more focused on himself than he is on voters. president biden, who mostly stayed away from commenting during the trial, finally weighed in.

with trump. he's really whispered in the ears of many business leaders in california, saying, look if you want lower taxes if you want those trump tax cuts from 2017 to remain in place in 2025. even if you don't love the trial, even if you don't love trump. he's a better economic choice for you for silicon valley for the business community. van president biden now president biden and vice president harris as we know. and you've covered it well at your station. have been out to california nearly constantly over the past few years, raising money solidifying their financial base in california. but that doesn't mean they have it owned and that's why trump's there. >>i know you have been covering this extensively. for the next 6 months. anything you're looking forward to in the next few months in terms of either campaigns, both biden and trump >>really keep an eye on the central valley of california. house speaker kevin mccarthy, who was thrown out of office by his own republican members, as we all kn

so what trump would trump is going to look for? absolute human zero that he learned his lesson for mike pence so he thought with pen seed found someone who have deferential, who is subordinated. but the last moment, pent showed some human, some integrity, some constitutional loyalty. and for that he was nearly killed and that is the one thing that trump is going to be looking for. so something like j.d. vance, i mean our j.d. vance is not a man of high character, but he is a man of high intellect and trump. >> can't trust me. >> it's the same thing with doug burgum. doug burgum as a man, he's not a man of great charisma, but he's a man of great accomplishment. trump can't trust the, but you can trust to tim scott because he's a zero and you can trust marco rubio because he's spiritually broken. so i think he's going to be looking for one of those sort of more negligible human beings. rather than somebody with high intellect or high care. so how does it, who is the biden campaign concerned about his running mate? i actually don't th

trump.ticking to the issues of course and he would be staying out of the mud. of course mr. trump will hammer away at the affordability crisis and hopefully in particular will talk about the housing affordability crisis for young voters who are priced out of market, and out of the american dream and appear to be desserting joe biden and the democratic party in droves. tonight is a big night for two candidates. it is even bigger night for voters. let me repeat, an optimistic vision of growth, prosperity and opportunity, it is always a winner and i believe mr. donald trump knows that. and that's the riff. all right, having said all of that, joining us now we welcome back to the show alabama senator tommy tuberville. as always great to see you. what do you think? i'm just making a forecast. i think that is where trump wants to go. he wants to talk about success and unity. doesn't want to do mudslinging. biden will do what biden is going to do but i think trump has a clear vision here, what do y

could donald trump pardon himself?only issue pardons for people convicted on federal crimes, this was a state crime. but presidents pardoning themselves, this is all unprecedented, this is uncharted legal territory. so to be honest, it's all a bit of a question mark. will vernon with answers on the trial. for more on the historic nature of the verdict, i spoke to a presidential historian. it's only been one day but how do you think history will look back at this moment? the first president to be convicted of a crime? thank you for having me. i think the history books will look at it in two ways. first, it is extremely unusual in american history to see something like this. we've never had a president convicted of a crime, so it is an unprecedented moment. really lucky as a nation that no president has acted in such a way to be convicted of a crime. that's an exceptional statement. the second piece worth mentioning, under the rule of law, every citizen is supposed to be treated the same. that goes for a former president

candidate whoever donald trump picks.s will be a whip saw of events. and the debate next week will set the stage and donald trump has a huge platform to set it off. >> a huge platform and right next to him, joe biden has a huge platform to call him out for it. when donald trump, evan, is on the stage at rallies, there is no pushback. he is only doing interviews with right wing outlets but next week, he will have an equal amount of time in the exact same opportunity as president biden. the moderators have the opportunity to push back on him. or follow-up. obviously, joe biden does. so could this be a huge advantage for president biden that he realtime can call out former president trump? >> they really want to have this moment where the president and his former president are on the stage together and they think when the two things happen and owe biden can say he wants to say to donald trump's face, joe biden comes out looking better so that is exactly why we are doing this so early. because the biden campaign is just a goo

donald trump has said no.e put the three supreme court justices that overturn roe v. wade. >> it is even more complex than that, he faces liability and risk on both sides. if donald trump starts getting too soft on abortion, we started this conversation talking about christian conservatives. >> will they leave him? >> i don't know if they'll leave him, but enthusiasm matters in close elections and if some of those people say donald trump doesn't care about abortion anymore, and he's not as staunchly pro-life and he's apologizing for it. some of those people might stay home and he has to find the balancing act. >> what's the headline when we wake up friday morning? >> the headline is it's still a close race, and i do think that center block will really be important the next few months. notably rfk jr. will not be there and a lot of these folks will be watching and i don't like either one of these guys. as you said, it's joe biden versus the couch for some of them. >> a term for perfectly normal people. >> exact

what openly anti trump, they despise trump, they mock trump, they call them names. and he's agreed to this and you know, the boundaries set by the, by and kept work just very disturbing. they said it had to be a network that carry both a republican primary that trump participated in in 2016 and a democratic primary debate that bought and participated in in 2020. so it limited the field to cnn cbs abc and telemundo. not one of them pro trump, or even fair in my view. well, that's the thing. so i would say, if i've got to ask you, is there a network, do you agree with i guaranteed on a group of students take that it's going to be unfair to against trump, but it's necessarily lightly sealed and hasn't been necessarily pro biden either. is this a good place from a democrat standpoint, to host this debate? and are you expecting fairness out of jake and dana? of may know those that are congress a girlfriend? oh, yes. well, the answer is yes, but it doesn't matter because the last time that donald trump actually answer the question was approximately 1983. and all the inter

trump.he occasion for the magnitude of the situation. he exists to throw bombs into everything and there's no reason to think the debate will be any different. i do not know if it has been hyped good, bad or the right amount but i know it is an interesting animal that will give joe biden the opportunity to present his case but there is no reason to believe former president donald trump will respect that. >> what about you susan, the needle has not moved so much in the race to think the debate makes a difference? what impact for voters sing the two candidates going at it again. >> while i do not think the debate will make a huge difference in the polls, unless something really big happens, some big moment, putting that aside, it probably will not make it big difference in the polls. to the point on former president donald trump, let's not forget he does not play by the rules. while he made a interrupt joe biden, he may pick a fight with the moderator. those are the types of things he likes to

trump in his last impeachment trial, did attend the meeting with donald trump today. nbc news caught up with senator romney on his way to the trump meeting. >> reporter: do you plan on confronting him or bringing up any kind of january 6 related issue? >> no, this is not the place for that. >> no, no, this is not the place for that. that is the very polite version of the ultra polite utah senator, mitt romney. maybe too polite this time. what is the place for that? one place for that is the federal courthouse a short walk from where they were meeting with donald trump was scheduled to stand trial for crimes federal prosecutor jack smith has accused him of but the supreme court blocked that prosecution by accepting a delay they never should have accepted. donald trump is claiming something no one has ever claimed before, that the president of the united states has lifetime immunity for any and all crimes committed while he was president. andrew weissmann will join us tonight to consider the unconscionable delay the supreme court has imposed on the criminal case of the

>> donald trump jr.s on his side right now, which i think is a much more important endorsement than the wall street journal. same thing that happened to marco, they saw that republican voters want maga, they want trumpism, they want nationalism, and then the kind of backfilled the policy rationale to support that. and i think somebody like jd vance was always kind of moderate on economic issues, so he used that to argue that he is maga, then he kind of layered on top of that, in order to be maga, have to suck up to donald trump and go in line with vaccine conspiracies. he layered that on top of his more authentic, populous, economic agenda, and now, here he is as kind of a golden boy in the maga world. >> i do wonder, though, if there is something to the idea that donald trump jr. likes jd vance, and trump absolutely wants to be the alpha in the presidential-vice presidential relationship, and therefore, does not put jd vance slightly higher in the stakes than anybody else because of his sort of fealty t

we have talked a lot about this, but i went through some of the language that trump, lara trump, steve bannon, and others have been using in recent days and weeks. it seems they are laying the groundwork for another effort. what do you hear? is it different from what led to 2020 or is it similar in your view? >> it is similar and it's even worse. particularly when you hear steve bannon saying fight or die because trump is doing what he did prior to the last election which is laying the seeds that if he loses that he will challenge it as a legitimate. there is no way he can lose. the thing that donald trump fears more than anything is being labeled a loser. he is probably even more willing to be called a felon than a loser, but he is a loser and he is desperately afraid he may lose again, and if he does lose again, he wants to challenge the results. he is laying the foundation. we saw with even less incendiary rhetoric four years ago that it led to a violent confrontation of a mob descending on the capitol. now that they are escalating the rhetoric, with even greater fears of losing, an

the trump trial from start to finish kara walker's through what's next for trump. and his legal team? >> well, will trump's lawyers have a deadline of two weeks in which to file any motions before the judge and todd blanche had says that trump's lead attorney has said that they're going to make several motions challenging the verdict, having to do with some of the judge's rulings before the trial, including arguing that they can't get a fair trial and couldn't get one in new york. and also challenging the judge, letting in the testimony of some witnesses, including stormy daniels. then donald trump is going to be sentenced on july 11, so he will have to meet with a probation officer just like any other convicted felon who will interview him, get some materials so that the probation department can make a recommendation to judge juan merchan on what donald trump's sentence punishment should be after being convicted on 34 felony counts, that sentencing again as for july 11. now, todd blanche has also said that trump intends to appeal his conviction. they will have 30

trump?> you know, it's a very easy thing that i do and other people do on the panel in criticize people's performances. sometimes it's case someone could do a better job at trial. trials are difficult and there's scrutiny here. sometimes the fact in law are what the facts in law are. terrific defense lawyers who perform well lose and sometimes not good defense lawyers win because the government hasn't proven its case. i'm not going to take potshots at todd. i think he could have been stronger in some of the cross-examinations and leave it at that. >> well, sentencing is july 4th. excuse me, july 11th, four days before the convention, as we mentioned. what grounds for appeal do you think mr. trump has here? >> so i think they'll make a number of points. you know, donald trump is not one to leave anything on the cutting room floor. i think some of his arguments are nonfrivolous. i agree with what jan said in the ordinary course it's difficult to get a criminal conviction overturned but it happ

trump: yes. chris: the economy is recovering faster than expected from the d the unemployment rate fell to 8.4% last month. the federal reserve sa to growth, which is going to be there, is not going to be nearly as big as they had expected. president trump, you say we are in a v-shaped recovery. ce president biden, you say it is more of a k-shape. what difference does that mean president trump, you go first. pres. trump: so, we built the greatest economy istory, we china plague. we closed it down, which was very hard psychologically to do. he did not think we should close own and he was wrong. 2 million people would be dead instead of still 204,000 is too much, should have never happened from china. but what happened is we closed it down and now we are reopening d we are doing record business. we had 10.4 million people in a four-month period that we have put back into the workforce. that is a record the likes of which nobody has ever seen before and he wants to close down, he would shut it down

>> i bought that argument in 2016 when hillary ran against trump and i voted for trump in 2016. hillary and bill were a year ahead of me in law school and i would like to say i have been burdened with them longer than the rest of the country but after working for trump i could not good for him but i did not vote for biden in 2020 and will not this year because i do not think he is fit to be president for different reasons. when you have two people that do not cross the bar of acceptability, i think is legitimate to cast a protest vote. a year ago i heard a lot of republicans say they will not vote for trump but they look at biden and they decide to vote for the lesser of two evils. it is a unhappy time for america when these are the two people we nominated and it will be a bad four years for america no matter who wins. >> then are these concerns really serious? >> it is a protest vote, if i did not vote for anybody this time it will be a protest vote as well. i will not vote for somebody that is not qualified or fit for the office. >> thank you for joining me today. i do appreci

off the ballot to get trump this clearly goes back to joe biden. obsessed with power and control their willing to do anything to keep it and it's at the end of the day who's counting the votes and water fair and free election coming of the rnc launching an effort to voting, are they doing enough? >> i believe so. go ahead. >> i was going to say we have an overhaul at the rnc get president trump that made a point to talk about this when he was visiting with us in washington but we have to have accountability and massive ballot harvesting operation into ensure that there are people there to monitor as well as attorneys on the ground that are prepared to bring lawsuit in the event that we see people acting shady and i feel very confident as someone who is very much show akin to that in a good shape for this november. maria: 's editor, final word. >> the republicans have gotten the memo and we need to make sure we got the vote on election day and if they can vote before we want to encourage that to make sure all those votes are banked so much on the li

they go to work and see that donald trump is good fire. for 15 years, reporters and media outlets do what is best for their companies. they're respective of their own political ideology. >> my guest guess is there's a bums out and >> looking at every race since then and someone in power whether the president or house or senate has suffered for it and has been the guys throughout the last bumps and some have donald trump representing a newness, which was an oldness and not having this situation and athink 134 years we haven't had a former president trying to regain the office. >> joe biden for inflation and he doesn't, donald trump doesn't sit around and say here's my four part plan howard: yeah, but at the same time -- >> people are unhappy with our politics and i'm unhappy. rhyme not showing that by voting for donald trump and not showing that by voting for rfk. >> throw the bums out is not pleasant when you're the incumbent. incumbent. howard: always good to talk to you. this edition of media buzz, i'm howard kurtz. see you back here nex

trump when his name came up.ould demagogue these issues because i do believe that the president -- the former president needs to face the music even if you don't like the genre. >> george: we can say pretty much for certain that if a nominated party was a convicted felon, they would be pushed out by a party. >> it's enormous pressure to drop out of the race. the opposite has happened in this case because trump is completely the dominant figure in the gop and he broke no dissent whatsoever. we saw that again this week, but fact is that being a felon is not good for a campaign. it's not giving him things he doesn't already have. it fires up his base, but it's not growing his vote. this is a margins election. the margins are in three states, wisconsin, pennsylvania, and maryland. this is going to hurt trump in those handful of states, especially with an important group of voters. those two aren't following this that closely, and all they hear and all they absorb is the top line. convicted felon. >> we saw that come

trump a harsh sentence. here's why. >> and mitigation from the other side, the defense go and give him very little sentence probation, whatever. >> and here's why. and it's very interesting because the way those to present to the court is going to open up arguments, one to the other. >> the better trump's team says he is, the more that they state will come in and say no, he's not. >> and that opens up everything from hearsay, two letters two witnesses, to almost inner wender as to who this person issues about three sentence because the sentencing the procedure is pretty wide open as far as what you want to present you know, it's an incredible just to go through this, i mean, this is the system, this is the system at work and he's obviously as part of this with, as a convicted felon prior to sentencing, i know the standard here. >> mark is for him to sit down with an interview with a probation officer what happens in that interval i guess what happens? what do you think would happen in the case of trump in th

trump has miller, jay.d.around him in different capacities but i don't think he is sitting down and prepping with purpose and acuity in mind . there is a danger in that not simply because people should always prepare for debates. remember barack obama in 2012 didn't really prepare for his first debate for mitt romney and didn't engage fully and it showed. it is usually more perilous for incumbent presidents than challengers. having said that the floor mat for the debate thursday night does not play to trump's hooliganism, which is what he has tried to do in previous debates, where he has made a show of himself. there is an audience and he can grab the mic and say something. in this debate, the mic will be off when one of the other candidates is speaking. there is no live audience at they can't have notes. i anticipate him fumbling badly on policy issues. however -- however, i think one of the court band-aid factors in this debate is vitality, not policy. i think voters do have concerns about biden's age. trum

there was trump ally janine piro. not exactly a mystery how trump came into contact with him. most notable of all was former trump campaign manager and chief white house strategist steve bannon. bannon had been charged the year before withch allegedly duping thousands of trump supporters out of millions of dollars in cash by claiming he was crowd sourcing money to build trump's border wall. it wasrd called "we build the wall." to be clear, they did not. but as president, trump made bannon's federal charges just, poof, disappear. typically when a president pardons someone it's because the president disagrees the law that person broke or because the president thinks that person is innocent. thaton did not appear to be the case here. three of bannon's coconspirators in the we build the wall scheme were not pardoned. they went to trial, they were found guilty. one is, serving three years in prison, one is serving four years in prison, and one is serving five years in prison as we speak. so donald trump does not appear to have pardoned steve bannon because he thought steve bannon w

evan evan said if he's grievance donald trump, that's problems for the trump campaign saturday night and philadelphi was kind of odd message about working for you, fighting for you, right? and joe biden has to appear dynamic. he has the pure vigorous, he has to be combative. i think if joe biden comes out and his combative people like whoa, who is this guy, right? i mean, that's what the biden campaign wants to see. the trump campaign will just see the opposite so the mics being cut off, i think the format lends itself to more orderly debate. but i think both teams want to see something maybe a little bit different from their from their candidates. >> kick case. the director here, what do you say directly look, i broadly agree with that. i think for for trauma the aim here is to try to show these moderate suburban voters that he is a palatable option and it shouldn't be scared. >> yeah, they shouldn't be scared of him and we know from the first debate in 2020, that was a bad moment for donald trump. i mean, on the biden campaign in 2020, we saw his numbers fell off. we saw in our dat

trump is that their plan for trump on thursday? if if there is a topic fake news. cnn doesn't likecnn does what? you just shut it down.o expect to see the thing during g thursday debate. why would they change between now and thursdaye ? you know, as a matter of fact, let's take a look at fake jake tapper. shouldn't we, you know, doingg the exact same thing to trump advisethr our friendo stephen miller when he dared to mention immigrationn ? >> take a look. the reason why i want to talk about the president's experiences, what i've seen with him travelingwith to meet dozens of foreign leaders with his incredible work. >> okay, you're nof foret answev the questions. >> i understand you have pe hours a day of stephe24ayn. you're not going to give 3 minutes for the american people to get the reaol experience. donald chose one viewer that you care about right now, and you're being obsequious for being a fact about him in order to please him. okay? and d wasi know he's like harr. wasted enough, in my view, as you know, as republican lawmakers going over to general jeff se

we sought trump launch the black americans for trump coalition. the more you can see efforts ramping up to win over voters, specifically black voters in michigan as they attempt to take michigan in november. >>. well said, thanks, jake trailer. let's bring in tom nichols, staff writer for a reporter. before i get to your two new articles, i want to talk to you about the turning point conference. steve bannon joined, rather, donald trump yesterday. bannon named names he would like the trump administration to go after. he named merrick garland and jack smith among others. what is more unsettling? the fact that he made these statements, or the fact the presumptive gop nominee spoke at the very same conference just a few hours later? >> i don't agree have to pick between those two things. they are both pretty awful. and, you know, steve bannon saying these things, people could put distance between him and trump. well, trump didn't say it, but if trump returns to office, there ought to be a whole lot of people left out there in the country that are goi

trump always thinks that candidate trump helps defendant trump. i think, yet again, we've seen that candidate trump is not helpful for defendant trump. but trump has really mash these things together. the legal system, his quest for power, his quest to stay in office, and i thought biden did a good job of just getting in there and getting out. >> we also have this image here of folks embracing, excited about this because for some people this is a big moment yesterday. that was outside and of course you have the j days memory. >> and you realize that people were watching each time trump's almost busted on something and it doesn't happen and doesn't happen. i think expectations were kind of low like it could be a hung jury. so when this came over, it really hit people in a very profound way. i know there is a consensus because the republicans have coalesced around trump, by and large. all of them, quickly, because he is their nominee but it's going to look like a mccarthyism gone mad. this is a guy, trump, who started trump university and to suddenl

mentioned the cia, trump mentioned the fbi, trump mentioned the ministry of justice and journalists kind? he took practical steps to increase confidence in these destroyed or dilapidated institutions, then trump gave out, if not a sensation, then something close to this, he promised to declassify information on the most secret and most scandalous political affairs in america of the twentieth and 21st centuries, which certainly turned him against himself even more... it was after the terrorist attacks on the twin towers that the global war on terror began, which then turned into the arab spring, including the current events in ukraine. jeffrey epstein is a blow to the democratic party elite. it is known that the banker hosted pedophile parties on his island. among the guests were lohr, bill clinton, and many others. trump must be confirmed as the party's candidate. evil tongues are already saying that it was not in vain that this date of july 11 was chosen, it was chosen specifically to prevent the republicans from coming to their senses, but the republicans promise to close ranks, n

of course, biden was much less energetic than trump, but trump was trump in this debate, too, a man who blamed, lied, historicized, looked absolutely terrible, as she always looked throughout her time on this earth, because there was no day in donald's history. when he wouldn't look like donald trump. and here is another question. not to americans, but to ukrainians. you notice that the closer the presidential election is. the bigger the more likely it is that donald trump will be elected president of the united states, the louder are the voices of those who believe that if mr. vdupa suddenly turns out to be like that, then you need to be in time to kiss mr. vdupa, be the first in line, because then there will be so many people who want to, so mr. will not have time to understand that this is exactly your kiss, because there will already be a lot of people sitting there. there will be those who will be his, who are these people, well, i see it in social networks, in the comments of analysts, but we must understand, trump must win, no, we must build relations with trump, well, first of a

look at what donald trump has done.s absolutely destroyed the faith in our elections system in the last three to four years. must republican leaders no longer have faith in our election system and now he is doing the same exact thing with our justice system. ali, this may sound funny, but donald trump is the luckiest guy in the world. think about it. 3 1/2 years ago he tried to overthrow an american election. he will not be put on trial for that before the selection. he used the powers of his office to overturn georgia. he will not be put on trial for that before the selection. he still classified documents and then obstructed the search and retrieval of those documents, and he will not be put on trial for that before the selection. instead, he has been convicted for paying hush money to a porn star he had sex with 15 years ago. it has given mitch mcconnell and susan collins and all of these republicans who do not like trump -- this case has given them all a real easy excuse to say this conviction is bull. >> senator, t

the probation officer will be there on zoom with trump and todd blanche, trump's lawyer, will also bethe prosecution did not have any objections because trump is appealing and they want to make sure trump will not harm his appeal and maybe he could get a light sentence here. this will not be televised. that is a problem in your. they are not transparent. we did not see the trial only needed to we will not see this. we will get press access to the report after it is released. will not do much. in the end, the judge can make his decision based on everything he has seen thus far is trump's disrespect of the corporate he has been so light on him. whenever trump has violated the gag order, he is only gotten slapped on the wrist so why should we think he will throw the book at him now? >> donald trump is plowing ahead with his campaign and threatening revenge against all of his political rivals. how can you make a case for him legally well politically he makes it contradictory? >> i mean, he almost made it so that he has to talk about retribution. the more he talks about this, the more his

trump spokesperson did not deny trump used the word. biden responded with a simple clap back. quote, i happen the love milwaukee. who doesn't. those attacks on america are straight from an autocrats or aspiring autocrat's paint book, paint an apocalyptic, terrifying view of your country and neighbors. people who don't agree with you so your voters will think only you can fix it. only you can help them escape the hellscape you fabricated in their minds. there's also a simpler explanation. trump's contempt for the very people he says he wants to lead. milwaukee of course is not the first city is horrible or disgusting or a disgrace. this is a year's long now pattern of disparaging the people in this country. he has called people who don't vote for him stupid. as we've been discussing. he mocks war heroes and veterans as quote suckers and losers and quote, get them out of here, no one wants to see that. he's called the united states a quote, third world country. despite trump's weaponization of the idea of patriotism on the right side of t

trump's plans on it.s recently talked about a 60% tariff on chinese imports, and he recently floated an all-tariff policy, and he calls himself a tariff man, which is effectively a tax on american consumers. how would sweeping new tariffs help middle and lower income americans. >> when he was talking about that what he was referencing was getting rid of the income tax which would help every family. >> some of those americans don't pay -- wouldn't they end up paying more on the tariff? >> i served on the ways and means committee when i was in congress, and that's the committee that does all tax policy and all trade policy, and many times when we talk about trade and trade with other countries and especially with china, we talk about free and fair trade. we talk about free trade and never have been treated fairly by china and they hit us at their borders with regulations that take more money out of americans' pockets and they've never been fair to us. president trump has recognized that many times with coun

so what is trump's angle here?ve in pennsylvania and a member of the biden/harris campaign's national advisory board. sir, good to see you. >> good to see you. >> why philly, why now? >> you know what, i think a part of what we have to address always, the stakes. >> please. >> this year is going to determine what the next few decades look like. >> amen. >> and i think there's been this false bs narrative that trump is courting black voters. look at what happened in detroit, they didn't even attempt to fill the room with black folks. and then he left that church to go hang out with charlie kirk who said martin luther king was a bad guy and that the civil rights act, who knows if that was a bad idea. he sends in byron donald, who starts opining about how much, i guess, he loved jim crow and how good that was for the black family. this is about showing up with impunity to places that he has spent his entire career trying to undermine. you know, he got his start saying he wasn't going to rent to black tenants. he spent

must build relations with trump.ell, first of all, you need to understand that it is impossible to build a relationship with someone who does not notice you. this is trump's peace plan, the so-called one proposed by his advisers, once again confirms the simple fact that ukraine is for donald trump. the subject does not exist, there is already a simple idea: you must force the president of ukraine to start negotiations with russia, otherwise we will not give him weapons and money, right? trump himself constantly talks about vladimir zelenskyi about khacha, who, well, even at the debate, he spoke, well, he repeated this thesis, yes, who all the time leaves america with 60 billion dollars, as if zelenskyi is a person who takes this money, because we just have problems there in the economy, we cannot help ourselves, and not because we have... a war and our infrastructure and economy are being destroyed by the enemy, fine, but the very idea is that ukraine should not decide anything, so we will tell her that she has to do

would like a trump to show up. who is focused on grievances against him, not the problems that americans face and say things that seemed just a little nutty like this idea of a, of a fighting league and of course the trump will have two different biden's. they want to have sharp. >> one is would not be the one that showed up at the state of the union who looked vigorous and funny and had some rough forte, but rather the biden that sometimes shows up at public appearances that seems less sure footed. >> yeah. and obviously, trump has been saying some of the people in the trump campaign saying lead biden speak, let him speak as he's the one who's going to stumble. >> but trump has a very hard time letting someone else speak. >> yeah, although i think the format of this debate will probably help facilitate a conversation which both parties get some time to speak. >> but the idea that there's some other trump, that there's ever been a presidential pivot is absurd. >> he is the guy who called as for migrants to fight ea

fans, or trump supporters or, and actually it's actually now saying i'm, i'm going to vote for trump in what we're saying. i think you mentioned this earlier. i mean, his fundraising, if it's have gone through the roof since the varies was handed them well over $50000000.00 has come into his his campaign. christian, what does that tell you about his support and what does do you think it says about child support? is that they're actually willing to dismiss the justice system completely at this point in time because you know, they, they didn't get the verdict fits. they thought trump should, does it well, i think it's fix to evict the most those cultural victim hood a little bit here that this is sort of the which ones against the trump and the republican party, which is precisely an argument that the republicans confront. they've been pushing for quite some time and not just within the legal system. of course we're talking about the same thing in terms of media coverage or education universities, whatever it might be, is the sort of us versus the world mentality. which is pretty inter

trump, don't tax your tips, vote trump. okay.er, i was hoping it was a button, mark simone, politically. that is a winner is it not? and you think he will use it in debate. >> his poll numbers among mater dees is through the roof, 100%. i think it is a brilliant idea, he also talking about no income tax, they are ale brilliant. but, and you say tax cuts for rich? not if is is restaurant employees, workers in the service industry. >> i think it is a winner, i some of my wonky friends say it not a winner in terms of policy, so simple. >> a populous message. that is all it is in a state like nevada. larry: do you think that joe biden would a come out against it. >> in jake tapper or danah bash is not asking that question, they won't, trump should look over and say, joe, do you believe in no -- on tips not taxed and let's hear him answer or joe, tell us what remain in mexico is and why you are against border walls, ask the questions you know that moderators won't and let's see biden answer them. larry: other one to raise, we will hav

vance now on trump's vp shortlist, new kfile reporting tonight chose he liked tweets, calling trump a monster. a quote, douchey celebs. and that's just the beginning. plus president biden breaking his silence on his son's conviction, saying for the first time he will not commute a prison sentence. let's go out front and good evening. >> i'm erin burnett outfront tonight. trump behind closed doors, ranting today, we are told about taylor swift and nancy pelosi. now, this was what he chose to do on his first trip to capitol hill since the insurrection. >> here's what he said. >> this was a great meeting. this tremendous unity and the republican party, this is an outstanding group of people. i'm with them 1,000% there was me, 1,000%. we agreed just about on everything. and if there isn't, we work it out those are his comments after and, you know, when he talks about this thousand percent think about this, the republican leader mitch mcconnell, who had said trump was responsible for january 6. today, shook the hand of the former president and called the meeting, quote entirely positive. a

whereas donald trump has. i think it is going to make it very difficult for them to thread that needle. plus i think we are also going to see a lot more things happening. i do believe for donald trump and joe biden, this debate on june 27th will be having much more of an impact on voters than the felony conviction. >> before we go, i want your brief take on the west virginia mayor -- i'm sorry that west virginia senator joe manchin who officially left the democratic party to become an independent yesterday. senator mentioned health democrats maintain a slim majority during the biden term, but he also blocked major provisions of the infrastructure bill that would have addressed climate change and strengthened the social safety, and he stood in the way of suspending the filibuster to make progress on voting rights and police reform, the george floyd bill, for example. what kind of legacy does senator mention leave within the democratic party? >> with that ruptured, he unofficially left the party a long time ago

he knows trump committed a disgraceful dereliction of duty and is a danger to our republic trump andis collaborators will be defeated and history will remember the shame of people like leader mcconnell, who enabled them. when you see this image of mcconnell, its, let's keep that up there what do you see i see the ritual humiliation of republicans who said during january 6 are right? after january 6. and mitch mcconnell's case that trump was morally responsible for the events of the day he said there was no question. and what what i see two in that humiliation is a ton of regret for the decision he made not to impeach donald trump because if mitch mcconnell had made the decision right after january 6 to go ahead and rally republican senators around impeachment. they could have gotten enough to ensure that this moment didn't come to pass. mitch mcconnell is more responsible than anybody else because he was too cowardly to take on trump after january 6, despite knowing and saying clearly the trump was the person who caused the insurrection. he didn't do anything think about it. and now

i think you're going to see president trump form. present. trump be pretty focused on that. that, that economic argument is his pathway to get to you remoter it is we're starting to see you that the trends are turning in the other direction. >> so now we're seeing wages are outpacing inflation. again, how people feel about it as a different thing. but the numbers are starting to turn different direction to pick up on what gloria was saying a second ago about information older voters, one of the reasons i think they're attaching to president biden is because they're getting their news from more traditional sources and they're getting a breadth of news that's happening. younger voters are getting a lot of their news from social media. and this is one of the things when i was in the white house, we saw this very clearly, which is one of the reasons you see the president and the vice president starting to spend more time with tiktok todd creators and instagram creators, because that's how people are getting their information. so the kind of general news story might not be showin

trump left office.l right to abortion,". while biden withdrew the u.s. from the gcd continues to attract new member countries notably those with poor human rights records including russia, saudi arabia, haiti, and uganda. trump seeks to align america with this group of dictatorships. uganda past and anti-gay bill with the death penalty. five of the 37 members are among the worst 10 countries in the world to be a woman and a third of the countries rank in the worst 30. implementing the proposal to women in these regions amount to a death sentence given the historical legacy of gender violence in western colonialism, the attack on reproductive help is appalling. access to reproductive healthcare has been shown to significantly improve the lives of women in poor countries allowing them to pursue higher education to join the workforce. the efforts to enlist autocrats in the gcd committing their populations without their consent epitomizes the coercive nature. consider the case of guatemala. the nation joine

ringback the donald trump could face more than $100.00. he is in prison for falsifying business records. you'll find out shortly before republicans decide with a he's been man for president to help with all of this shy cus selection, and we'll just the rest of the world. think this is inside story, the hello and welcome to the program. on top of the crime, donald trump has been convicted on $34.00 charges in his circled cash money trial. he was found guilty of falsifying records to cover up payments ignite to adult film style stormy daniels in the run up to the 2016 presidential election. this makes them the 1st full us presidents to be convicted of a criminal offense. trump could face up to 156 years behind bars. the sentencing, next month's polls just 4 days before the republican party is national convention. that's when policy members will nominate who they want as been next president. so what is next for donald trump, and what might all of this mean to the us presidential election on november, the 5th, we'll get to, i guess i'm just a

it's crazy to think the actual vp is not only not here but not endorsing trump, trump's vp.g him to be the vp. it's a bizarre circumstance. >> there's another theory, maybe wild, but i will run it by you. >> okay. >> they are here as insurance. if he doesn't have a good night. if tonight, even the fox news hosts say, joe biden won, you can reset what the story is tomorrow by announcing your vp. >> i guess. only the candidate can reset the story. i've been in spin rooms at losing debates. having surrogates get pummelled doesn't do any good. the only way to reboot a bad night is for the candidate to do it. the candidate would have to come out and do a mea culpa or change the news. trump is good at this, doing something to change the attention. i don't think that doug burgum's announcement or fox tv hit, god love him, is going to do anything to change things if trump has a bad night. >> what's the criteria, do you think? what is going to ultimately make the decision for donald trump, aside from who does well tonight in the spin room? >> look, i mean, i think that looking the pa
